Potatoes: A tool of the Devil.

OH MY! The treadmill thing is precious! LOL

As for sugar levels... as to my understanding... my sugar level is usually a little higher in the early A.M... around 120 or 130 or so... after I take my pill it goes down. From what I understand, 2 hours after eating a meal, your sugar level should be back below 180. Since I've started exercising, I've had my level be as low as 90 BEFORE dinner. After dinner it has also been lower than usual... how many times a day do you check your levels??

J.T. gave me this site for information... http://www.nutritiondata.com/ It has a carb counter and everything. Stay away from potatoes... they're evil... they're a tool of the devil... LOL

I'm actually rather fond of this site for additional information: http://www.diabetes.org/home.jsp

I ended up going to Shoney's for lunch... I got the shrimp teryake (sp?)... I ate the shrimp and the veggies, but I left the rice on my plate. I also ate a salad... even had a few croutons (my weakness...) I had to drive my sis M.A. to her drs. appt this afternoon... so while she was in her therapy appt... I was walking around the parking lot trying to get my walk in. I've walked 'the hill' at my SIL's and DB's house 3 days out of 5... which is pretty decent. I don't go to O'ville everyday... but I've made special trips just for that. And I've walked at my DS's just about everyday. LOL I don't own a treadmill... wouldn't know where to put it. M.A. does.... I've walked it before... I HATE walking treadmills.. LOL

Good idea about keeping the book... I hate doing it, but it would make it easier to keep track of what I'm doing... I'm NOT eating enough veggies... I do know that. I probably should take a multi-vitamin... but I'm taking enough pills to rattle when I walk in the morning... LOL But if I loose the weight... maybe... just maybe... I can come off a few of the pills....

I'm sending you a Christmas card via snail mail... it has my cell # in it... USE IT! LOL
